A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharply tapered joins. Stems are thick and confident while hairlines pinch down to fine, crisp connectors, creating a sculpted, ink-trap-like rhythm in places. Serifs read as flared and wedge-like rather than slabby, with occasional ball terminals and curled details (notably in letters like g and j). Proportions are wide overall, with compact counters and strong internal shapes; curves are rounded but controlled, and diagonals have a chiseled, poster-oriented presence.
Best suited to display settings where strong texture and personality are desired: headlines, poster titling, book and album covers, and expressive brand marks. It can work for short emphatic passages or pull quotes, but its dense color and tight counters make it less comfortable for extended small-size reading.
The face projects a bold, theatrical tone—part classic display serif, part playful eccentricity. Its contrast and dramatic modulation suggest old-style print sensibilities filtered through a showy, attention-seeking voice, making the text feel emphatic and characterful rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through extreme contrast, wide proportions, and distinctive terminals, evoking classic editorial and poster typography while adding playful, slightly idiosyncratic details for recognizability.
In the text sample, the dense color and tight internal spaces make paragraphs feel compact and loud, with distinctive word shapes driven by the bulbous rounds and tapered hairlines. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, with curvy forms that match the type’s ornamental attitude.
